Cheap rear discs + bearings

[ChrisR]

Seems to be quite a few cheap sets of rear discs including the bearings on ebay for the 172/182.

As the rears don't do as much as the fronts are they worth a shot (most seem to be grooved and/or drilled)?

Or are they likely to be really crap with crap bearings?

Just a set with mintex pads can be had for like £90 which seems cheap to me.

Just seen in some other threads that Renault rears are now about 95+vat so will just get some of those.

£95 + VAT and Disks are about £36 + VAT or something

I got my Disks from Renault through a Friend for something like £68 and Pads from CAS for £18 for Both Sides

ECP (Euro Car Parts). I bought Disks from there...cant remember the price. You have to buy bearings as well though. Swear they were under 60 quid for the set??

Actually this is what I bought a year ago...

The discs are price for 1. But I cant remember if the bearings are a set??? I used my old ABS rings. Was easy to pushthe bearings in and re-use.

Quite possibly but pressing Bearings can be an arse so I chose to have all ABS Rings and Bearing Pre-Pressed just incase

An arse??!! I did mine on my garage floor with a hammer and a kind of socket and just punched the f**ker in carefully

 

[richy22]

I did make the noob error of putting one of the bearing rings in first and started to hammer the bugger in... then when I couldn't get the top ring in I suddenly thought..ay yeah that bottom one shouldn't be in

I do have access to a bearing press at work now though so its a lot easier

euro car parts and all those places...

they are something like 18 quid.. or 24 with bearings...(im sure its something like that..)

I got a set from euro car parts last year all built up with rings and bearings for about £75. When I rang back to get some more for a mate they didnt have a clue what I was talking about, even tho i had a part number

 

[richy22]

^^^ Yeah I struggled to comprehend how one day you can get them with bearings... then the next day they dont know what your talking about!

 

[Kiev85]

im sure they sell them "with" or "without" bearings...

i managed to get one with and one without...

numpties..

 

[richy22]

They dont show up on the site... maybe they do though.

 

[Jay Payne]

With or without the bearings isnt an issue for me. No one does them with the abs rings exept Renault. But I did manage to buy some pattern ones WITH the abs rings from ECP once

There was a chap on ebay selling loads of abs rings for various cars, he seemed to know his stuff when quoting me on a pair. They were £9.99 each.

I heated my old rings up and gently knocked them off the old discs and then refitted them to the new discs whilst still warm. Easy peasy.
